Carabao Cup: Wolves v Leeds – Player ratings

Following the Carabao Cup win over Leeds, Liam Keen rates the players on their performance.

Published

Matija Sarkic - 7

A clean sheet and a handful of very good saves make it a pretty good evening for Sarkic. He let a couple catches slip through his fingers, but he fortunately was not punished.

Jonny Castro Otto - 5

Jonny was not at his worst, which has plagued him for most of the season, but he still struggled. The right-back gave the ball away far too often.

Nathan Collins - 5

Collins had a very difficult first half, for the most part, and looked uncomfortable. He recovered in the second half.

Max Kilman - 6

A pretty standard display for Kilman, with some attacking forward runs mixed in.

Rayan Ait-Nouri - 6

Ait-Nouri was solid on his return to the starting XI. Nothing special but no major mistakes.

Ruben Neves - 6

Neves did a good job of controlling the midfield and giving Wolves an outlet.

Joe Hodge - 6

Hodge is a proper scrapper who won the ball back on several occasions and got stuck in.

Connor Ronan - 6

Until he came off, Ronan did himself proud. He got forward, offered a link up and a threat and almost scored.

Adama Traore - 5

The winger was too quiet and ineffective against a young Leeds side.

Hwang Hee-chan - 6

As a makeshift striker, Hwang did a good job of holding the ball up, putting his body on the line and bringing others into play. He did offer little goal threat, however.

Goncalo Guedes - 5

Similar to Adama, Guedes had far too little of an impact. He was also seen refusing to track back on several occasions.
